BREAKING CHANGES

• Drawer status is now a union ('open', 'closed') instead of a boolean. This will let us implement more types of status in future.

Following this the following exports have been renamed as well:

• getIsDrawerOpenFromState -> getDrawerStatusFromState
• useIsDrawerOpen -> useDrawerStatus

• We now use flexbox for header elements which could break some existing style code which relied on absolute positioning.
• The lazy prop now can be configured per screen instead of for the whole navigator. To keep previous behavior, you can specify it in screenOptions
• This commit moves options from drawerContentOptions to regular options in order to reduce confusion between the two, as well as to make it more flexible to configure the drawer on a per screen basis.
• We now require newer versions of safe area context library.
• drawer's status can be queried through the isDrawerOpen hook. no need for the events
• Previously, the stack header accepted scene and previous scene which contained things such as descriptor, navigation prop, progress etc. The commit simplifies them to pass route, navigation, options and progress directly to the header. Similaryly, the previous argument now contains options, route and progress.
